Evening.
The Four Seasons Hotel was brightly lit.
Ji Xiao, Ji Hongyuan, and the others were greeting the guests at the door when Gu Hengbo arrived.
Liao Quan quickly came out to greet him. "Teacher Gu, why are you late? Didn't we agree to meet at six?"
It was already half past six.
Gu Hengbo looked at his watch and then said with a straight face, "Is Ziyin here?"
"She…" Liao Quan's attention was diverted. "She's not here yet. She'll probably be here at seven. You know she's in the Privy Council now and is usually busy with many things…"
Seeing that Gu Hengbo was frowning, he quickly said, "… But she told me she would be here at seven o'clock sharp."
Only now did Gu Hengbo relax and walk inside. "Just in time! The other members of the WLA should be here by then."

This time, Gu Hengbo had spent a lot of money to hold this celebration party for Ji Ziyin.
He had used all the connections he had built over the years.
